Description
Details ^^Bagoas was a eunuch who became the grand vizier to Persian king Artaxerxes III, and his favorite. Despite the fact that he was a eunuch, he was a great warrior and military leader. Also, vizier Bagoas became the de facto ruler of the Persian empire. He poisoned the kings he disliked (kings who wanted to kill the vizier), but Darius, the last king of the Persian Empire, know that the vizier wanted to poison him, so he forced the grand vizier to drink poisoned wine, and vizier Bagoas did. He is not the Bagoas who was Alexander's lover. Don't mistake him with Alexander's Bagoas

You know, I am loosely basing a character in my most recent story on this character. A powerful eunuch sorceress who has the ear of an intersex queen. There are other characters, but I figured I'd let you know about that character.

There are a few references to him in the book about Alexander by Valerio Massimo Manfredi, but they are very unflattering and homophobic

That's a castrated MAN?! Wow... it's new to me that some eunuchs looked so feminine...

Yeah, some eunuch can look very-very feminine, soft and gentle

I take it these guys were castrated at a very young age?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, before puberty. Somewhere in 10-12 years. Usually, boys in a large family and only the youngest were castrated.

That's young alright... do these boys keep their voice? Or do their voices also change once they reach that age?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They often remain young look and live long. Longer than ordinary men. Their hair does not fall out and their health is stronger. Their voices are usually high, between childish and female.

Interesting... wonder why they end up living longer and healthier...

Because of less testosterone.

Well I'll be damned! I used to study Clinical Laboratory Science but they never mentioned that testosterone has negative effects on human health... that's one point for women!

It's incredible how he (like Alexander's Bagoas) was an incredible, strong, and cunning beauty, but far more terrifying and manipulative. The blood red outfit standing out loudly from the simple monochromatic backdrop looks amazing on him. Even his face which is just as beautiful and stunning as other eunuchs is somehow unsettling and kinda creepy to look at 😖
It's amazing!

She looks so powerful and so incredibly graceful and for the implication of such a bloody rule, she looks so innocent!

This is the epitome of grace and power, authority and elegance. You can tell with one glance that his power was gained and earned hard via his eyes, there is a a quiet power with no arrogance, no hubris. He looks like a confident sorcer assured of everything especially with his eyes...this is breathtaking.
